Twosome Place In-House Volunteer Group Removes Ecological Invasive Species in Cheonggyecheon

Launch of Twosome With You... Commitment to ESG Management
Various Annual Community Contribution Activities Planned

Dessert cafe Twosome Place announced on the 29th that its in-house volunteer group, ‘Twosome With You (TWOSOME WITH YOU),’ conducted an invasive plant removal activity at Cheonggyecheon Ecological School in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on the 25th.

Twosome With You is an in-house volunteer group composed of Twosome Place employees who voluntarily participate with the shared goal of spreading positive influence in the local community and practicing ESG in daily life. It was launched for the first time in the first half of this year with the meaning of supporting places in need and working together with the local community through volunteer activities.

The first activity of the Twosome With You volunteer group was themed around environmental protection in celebration of Earth Day on the 22nd. In collaboration with the Ecological Team of the Cheonggyecheon Management Office under the Seoul Facilities Corporation, they carried out invasive plant removal activities around Cheonggyecheon on the 25th. Invasive plants refer to species introduced from abroad or native species that disrupt or potentially disrupt the balance of the domestic ecosystem. If left unchecked, they can harm biodiversity.

Thirty-six Twosome With You members, who volunteered with a commitment to protecting the local environment, began their activity on the 25th by receiving education from an ecological interpreter at Cheonggyecheon Ecological School. Afterwards, having raised awareness about the dangers of invasive plants and environmental protection, the members engaged in removing invasive species in the lower stream of Cheonggyecheon, taking the first step toward protecting the healthy ecology of Cheonggyecheon.

The two Twosome With You activities scheduled for this year are expected not only to contribute to local environmental protection but also to strengthen bonds among employees and provide opportunities for refreshment through outdoor activities.

Kim Ha-young, an assistant manager who participated in the invasive plant removal activity at Cheonggyecheon, said, “As a member of Twosome Place, I resonated with the purpose of ‘Twosome With You’ to extend a helping hand to the nearby community, which motivated me to join the volunteer group. I especially enjoyed participating with my colleagues, and although it was a small effort, I felt proud to have contributed even a little to protecting Cheonggyecheon, a place frequently visited by many people.”

Meanwhile, Twosome Place held the ‘Tuna Bada Flea Market’ event in February to celebrate the New Year and donated all proceeds to local children. In May, during Family Month, it hosted coffee & dessert classes and various experience programs for employees’ families, and the second Twosome With You activity is scheduled for September. Twosome Place plans to continue various activities that promote coexistence with local residents and practice ESG management.
